The police officer frowned. “Couldn’t you have settled this on your own?”

“I tried to talk to them, but as you can see, they refuse to leave. They threatened us to move our business elsewhere or his uncle, apparently the police chief, will put me behind bars. I want to know if I’ve broken any laws that called for jail time.”

Mona made it sound serious as there was an ongoing investigation into the integrity of government officials. For someone to throw their weight around in the name of their uncle who was the chief of police, the uncle would probably take a lot of heat if it made headlines.

The burly man freaked out.

“Nobody said anything about putting you behind bars. Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Quit the racket and shut up.” With a stern look, the police officer gave the burly man a glare and then turned his attention to Mona. “You two should come with me to the station, so I can get your statement. I’ll sort this out for you.”

“Thank you, officer.” Mona expressed her gratitud

    Thaddeus glanced at the woman by his side, assured that she was doing well. He then pulled a long face and stared at the man who went after Mona. He questioned, “What did you chase after her for?” The man took stock of Thaddeus’ expensive taste in clothes. Intimidated by his commanding presence, the man backed down a little in confronting Mona. “She hit me. Half of my face is swollen,” the man whined as if Thaddeus was the father of the offending daughter while he tattled to the father as the victim of bullying. “Did you hit him?” Thaddeus lowered her head and asked Mona in a soft voice, not putting the blame on her at all. “I can’t believe he’s the one complaining. He started it, so he deserves a beating.” Mona stared daggers at the man. Thaddeus furrowed his brows and reached out to hold Mona’s hands to rub between his palms. “Your hands must be hurting. I’m only a phone away. Just leave this to me the next time.” Mona was dumbstruck, and so was the man standing in the

    Surprised, the man lost his manners for a moment and cried out. Mona had an idea who the man was after Thaddeus addressed him as Mr. Foster. The man was likely the richest man in the neighboring city and Sherry’s father. “Yeah. We have two children together.” Getting a grip on himself, James looked at Mona a different way. The stunner must have a couple of tricks up her sleeve to have Thaddeus wrapped around her little finger. “Thaddeus, you’ve got game. You have two children before you’re even married.” James sneered. It was common for men to fool around with women and have children out of wedlock in the business circle. Thaddeus was the first to have the decency and the gall to admit to it. “You’ve got the wrong idea, James. We were married, and our marriage was legal in the eyes of the law. Sorry to let you down, but I’m not that kind of guy.” Upset, James pointed at Mona and questioned Thaddeus, “So, you’re saying that you caused a ruckus and even tried to throw my d

    “Are you saying that Bobby has a crush in preschool?” Mona cut Thaddeus off mid-sentence and eagerly asked in the restaurant.Thaddeus pulled out a napkin and reached out to wipe the bits of food on the corner of Mona’s lips. He patiently explained, “You always get ahead of yourself whenever it comes to the kids. Just let me finish.” Putting down her cutlery, Mona quietly looked Thaddeus in the eye and gave her full attention. Once Thaddeus gave an account of what he had seen at the preschool, she let out a sigh of relief. “It sounds like Bobby cares a lot about his classmate. I feel bad for the girl, Megan. Why don’t we invite her to the house for dinner? My heart goes out to her.” Mona was sympathetic to Megan’s situation at home as it invoked her feelings as a mother. She wanted to give Megan some help the best she could. “Sure. I’m sure our son will be happy if you’re glad to do that. You have no idea how much he likes the girl.” Thaddeus made the decision for his son. “

    Folding his arms, Thaddeus idly sank into the back of the chair and flashed his bad-boy smirk. “Thank me? How do you plan on thanking me?” Mona curled her lips, stood up, and nonchalantly said, “You get a free meal from me, and that’s it. Take it or leave it.” Thaddeus grinned and watched her from behind as she advanced to the counter to settle the bill. The woman sure had an attitude. After the brief lunch, the pair exited the restaurant and went their own ways. None of them said a word as they simply went on with their business. It was close to two o’clock in the afternoon by the time Mona returned to the jewelry design studio. Ben sat in the lounge area and buried his head in his packed lunch, gulping down the food. Standing at the door, Mona looked around the empty studio. There was not a customer in sight. She turned her attention back to Ben, feeling a catch in her throat. It was just pathetic. She went over and filled a disposable cup with water before placing

    Ben took note of Mona’s plan and immediately looked alive. Snapping his fingers, he said, “Alright. Let’s go with your plan. I’ll get ready to go in the next two days.” Mona balled up her fist and made an encouraging gesture. “Cheer up! I believe everything will get better.” “Yes. What about the issue from across the street?” “Leave it to me. They can sue me all they like. How can they twist the story after stealing my stuff? Surely, justice will prevail.” Ben echoed her sentiment, “I know, right? You must let me know if those people give you hell again. I’ll stand up for you.” “Sure. I’ll tell you if anything happens. Go on and finish your lunch.” Rising to her feet, Mona circled around the studio and went to the second floor. This was the space for the designers. Ben had jokingly said that Mona was the lead designer and that they could hire a few people to help her out on the second floor. He even poked fun that the second floor was reserved for Mona’s harem.

    Megan was fixated on Mona without a word. Mona pursed her lips, unable to read what could be going on in the girl’s head. It was a good thing she had a picture of the situation beforehand and understood that Megan was a little withdrawn due to her upbringing. Maybe the girl was scared of strangers. Perhaps Mona was a little too forthcoming and enthusiastic for Megan to accept. With that in mind, Mona ruffled Megan’s hair. “It’s okay if you don’t have a thing for dessert. We can go straight to dinner.” Mona got to her feet and rounded the family up for dinner. Feeling a sudden tug on her sweater, she looked back and saw that it was Megan. The little girl widened her eyes and murmured, “You’re beautiful like the princess in storybooks, Mrs. Fontaine.” Mona smiled. “Thank you for the compliment. You’re pretty too.” Megan responded, “My mommy must be as beautiful as you.” Mona froze a little. The word “mummy” coming from Megan called to Mona’s attention to practice caution.

    As a girl, Millie could pick up on the most subtle shifts in her environment. Plus, she easily felt insecure due to the absence of a father in the first years of her life. Thaddeus had spoken with a child psychologist, so he knew the importance of establishing a sense of security for the kids. Hence, Thaddeus had been keeping an eye open to detect any mood changes in Millie. Having received comfort from Thaddeus, Millie happily nestled in his arms. Her face beamed. Mona watched the sweet moment between the father and daughter as Jennifer’s words came into her mind. Jennifer wanted Mona and the two kids to disappear from Thaddeus’ life. However, the kids had bonded with the man. It would hurt Thaddeus and the kids to leave again… The dinner carried on with laughter and joy, and nobody noticed that Mona was secretly worried about something… The activity after dinner was what the kids had been looking forward to.

    “Don’t try and look for an excuse.” The man held Mona’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. Trapping her in his embrace, he domineeringly declared, “We’ll send the little ones to their great-grandfather tomorrow. It won’t affect our honeymoon.” Mona’s eyes popped out. Honeymoon?Honeymoon, her *ss. “Thaddeus, do you know how much of a hold-up you put on my stuff with your rash decision?” Mona was frustrated. “I won’t go with you to Swertland. You can go by yourself. I want to stay here and take care of my stuff.” Thaddeus smirked. Despite the smile on his face, he carried himself in such an imposing manner. “So, you don’t want to come along? Well, I have a hundred and one ways to make you go with me.” Mona shivered from the fear she had of the man. “Stop with the intimidation tactics. That’s just a low blow.” Thaddeus smiled wickedly and rubbed down on her lips. The hot breath from his parted lips blew against the side of her face. Amid the frisky air, he asked, “How low?”

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.
